FEMA prepares the nation for all hazards and manages Federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. We foster innovation, reward performance and creativity, and provide challenges on a routine basis with a well-skilled, knowledgeable, high performance workforce.

FEMA's Public Assistance Consolidated Resource Center in Sacramento, CA supports communities in their recovery from disasters across the Western United States. We provide Federal disaster assistance in the forms of grants to help local governments rebuild infrastructure after a disaster; to cover the costs of protecting communities before, during, and after a disaster; and to remove disaster-related debris. We're looking for motivated self-starters who strive to provide better products and experiences to communities who need our help. A wide range of positions are available to include grant developers, data analysts, information managers, and cost estimators, architects, and engineers.

Insurance Lane Manager (Supervisory Insurance Specialist)

In this position, you will supervise staff and manage workloads to ensure insurance requirements and issues are addressed in the development of Public Assistance grants.

Appointments under this authority within FEMA are made to the excepted service and are nonpermanent in nature.

EMERGENCY ASSIGNMENT: Every FEMA employee has regular and recurring emergency management responsibilities, though not every position requires routine deployment to disaster sites. All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description. Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions.
